Anaheim is more than Disneyland. Located south of Los Angeles, this Orange County city has sports teams worth checking out. The Anaheim Ducks play at the Honda Center whereas the Los Angeles Angels play at Angel Stadium. As a Dodger fan, I avoided attending Angels games. After all, they are technically located in Anaheim so we do not take lightly to calling them the Los Angeles Angels. Nonetheless, I stumbled across tickets and attended a game. The stadium and fans blew me away and though I will never be changing out my blue for their red, I loved every minute of the game. Since I was skeptical, I had to share every reasons to attend a game at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. The History<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Everyone loves a good Disney story. Usually they involve a prince coming to save a  princess or the story of a sports team overcoming the odds. Did you know Disney had a hands-on role with sports teams? Specifically, the Mighty Ducks and the Anaheim Angels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to a 2015 article in the Los Angeles Times<\/span><\/a>, The Walt Disney Company had ownership in both of these Anaheim based teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the 1992 movie The Mighty Ducks, Disney founded the NHL team by the same name. It has undergone different ownership since then and the name has changed slightly to the Anaheim Ducks. The next time you watch this movie, you can think of the Stanley Cup winning team with Disney to thank for its birth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the hockey team, Disney also dabbled in the Major League of Baseball. In 1996, they purchased the Anaheim Angels, as it was named then. The team won a World Series Championship under this ownership before Disney sold the team and the name was changed to include “Los Angeles”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We have Disney to thank for the movie Angels in the Outfield, which was premiered in 1994. Though it was a remake of a 1951 film by the same name, it is an interesting turn of events that Disney would later own the team by the same name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
